Émilie

I got to sleep in 3 whole hours…so it is now a nice fat 8:00 am. I say “fat” because the expression in French meaning “to sleep in” is faire la grasse matinée, which translates literally to “to make/have a fat morning.” I like to think that that means you are making the morning “fat” by making it longer, but it makes me giggle to think that it could also mean that the person sleeping in is the “fat” part… you lazy cow! How glorious.

The sleeping in this morning is of course grâce à (thanks to) less than 1/2 an inch of snow and now some very scary drip-droppy rain. So as my yankee colleagues laugh their asses off at us, I’m going to go back to bed and make some more fat morning.
